4. Experiments

To assess the effectiveness of our proposed approach, we conduct evaluations across various scenarios:

\

1. where each sample comprises a single image, and patches are naturally considered as instances;

   \

2. where each sample includes multiple instances, but we use a general embedding for each image;

   \

3. where each sample contains multiple images, with each image containing multiple patches.

4.1. General Setup

We initialize our model using BLIP2 [22] with FLAN-T5- XL. MIVPG is initialized with weights from QFormer. The model consists of a frozen language model and a frozen visual model. During training, we only update the MIVPG. The visual encoder, ViT-G, is employed to encode images into patches of embeddings, and the images are resized to dimensions of 224 × 224. In our experiments, we observed that unfreezing the visual encoder does not lead to additional improvements in datasets with small sizes. Further details can be found in the supplementary C.1.
